Aerospace electrical cables are used extensively in electronic devices for power and signal circuits for transmitting electric power or telecommunication signals from one place to another.
BS EN 2346-003 is a European standard that specifies the characteristics of fire-resistant electrical cables for use in the onboard electrical systems of aircraft at operating temperatures between – 65 °C and 260 °C.
BS EN 2346-003 on fire-resistant electrical cables for aerospace is useful for:
Aerospace electrical cables sustain intense vibration during take-off flight, and landing, and also, they subject to harsh environmental conditions. Cable faults cost money and create disruption, so there is an enormous demand for cable test techniques to ensure cables and joints are in good condition.
BS EN 2346-003 provides you with materials and construction requirements of conductors and insulators and also provides instruction on the colour coding of cores. BS EN 2346-003 guides you with quality assurance, designation, marking, packaging, and storing of DW family, single UV laser printable, and multicore assembly cables.
BS EN 2346-003 standard ensures the reliability of the aerospace equipment thus assuring the safety of the passengers.
